HuffPostTech, the Huffington Post's tech section has an opening for a paid spring and summer internship based in New York City.
Primary responsibilities include:
- Researching, writing and copy editing original content
- Pitching and writing original story ideas
- Suggesting stories for aggregation
- Other general assignments working closely with HuffPostTech editors and reporters
Candidates should be extremely web savvy, quick learners, detail-oriented, energetic, efficient, good at self-directed follow through, excellent writers/copy editors and be avid consumers of online media. We need a self-starter who is curious about the tech world and eager to learn but need not have mastery nor be a certifiable geek. What is absolutely required is serious dedication to detail, swift and accurate writing ability, and attention to deadlines -- all while juggling multiple tasks at once.
The ideal candidate will be able to start immediately and be deeply interested in all aspects of technology coverage, particularly consumer electronics and social media. Experience with Photoshop, Movable Type or similar blogging platform, basic HTML preferred. Preference will be given to candidates who are willing to work full time, or as close to 40 hours per week as possible at $10/hr.
This is great opportunity to learn all the ins and outs of new media and get first-hand exposure to how The Huffington Post works. The position would mostly revolve around content creation, and the intern would have an opportunity to pitch article ideas.
Send resume, writing clips, and very brief statement of interest to bianca@huffingtonpost.com.
